Weekend hackathon to push power of vibe coding to edge

By Skyler Baldwin

A recurring event for local tech savvy developers and computer aficionados is bringing participants together this weekend to test the limits of a new way of computer programming. It’s called “vibe coding.”

A term coined this year, vibe coding is a software development method that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate computer code from natural language prompts. For example, instead of a coder hand-writing complicated computer code to build an application, a vibe-coder might instruct an AI tool to “design an app that helps connect people to a local restaurant.”

“This is so new, we don’t yet know the boundaries or limitations,” said Doug Hamilton, president of CharlestonHacks and program architect for the Medical University of South Carolina’s Human Centered Design Innovation Lab. “What’s the most experimental version of vibe coding? We have no idea. We’re really challenging people to push it to its limits and play around with the conventional way we think about software platforms.”

Contestants at the weekend hackathon will be given several challenges across different industries. They will then form teams to create vibe-coded solutions to the chosen challenge.

“This is something that’s only recently caught fire, and now everybody is using it. We’re trying to find out the capacity of these new tools and what they’re able to do. We need to find where the edge of it is.”

Local groups to observe National Spiritual Care Week

Chaplains at Charleston-area hospitals, emergency medical, police and fire-response agencies and the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy will observe National Spiritual Care Week Oct. 19 to Oct. 25.

Clinical and professional chaplains provide spiritual care to help to heal patients, family members and colleagues caught in the crisis of illness and crisis, said the Rev. DeMett E. Jenkins, director of spiritual care and outreach at Trident Health.

During the national observance, local agencies are encouraged to hold public events. “We can’t just connect with the faith community when they come to the hospital,” Jenkins said. “We must connect with our community before they even need to come to the hospital.”

Trident Medical Center will hold an Oct. 23 dinner at the hospital for the faith community, she said. — CP staff

The AI tool then develops the coding that makes the app tick, leaving the user to focus on big-picture ideas, rather than the ins and outs of coding. But the coder has to know enough to know whether the app works correctly. (Often in early versions of AI imaging software, for example, an AI app told to develop a picture of something would include extra fingers or body parts, not able to recognize what was right or wrong.)

“It’s up to the participants to figure out what’s going to be the most impactful or innovative use of vibe coding,” Hamilton said. “This is something that’s only recently caught fire, and now everybody is using it. We’re trying to find out the capacity of these new tools and what they’re able to do. We need to find where the edge of it is.”

Hackathons follow different formats with each contest, ranging from two-day events to month-long tech explorations. This weekend, contests will have the weekend to develop an application or web platform using vibe coding to address one of the given challenge statements.

Participants will meet at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 3 at the College of Charleston’s

Harbor Walk for a panel-style interview with winners of previous Hackathons. Hamilton said he hopes this gives new participants a window into what to expect. From there, the challenges will be revealed and contestants will form their teams. Teams can begin work immediately.

The contestants reconvene at 5 p.m. Oct. 5 to present their projects to a panel of judges, the other teams and anyone else in the audience. The winning team will receive $1,000, and the runner-up will get $400.

All parts of the competition are open to the public, and anyone can compete.

Navy Yard welcomes new businesses as growth, renovations continue

By Skyler Baldwin

More than a dozen businesses are opening offices and locations in a growing creative hub tucked between the peninsula and Park Circle.

Construction is well underway at Navy Yard Charleston’s Design District, with large-scale renovations to the historic buildings and roads of the campus, breathing new life into former industrial spaces adjacent to Riverfront Park.

Since the beginning of August, the site has welcomed new locations for businesses like Textures, a luxury hardwood company; Artis Construction, a construction company specializing in historic restoration; and Kravet, a leader in home furnishings. More are on the way.

“Just seeing, in the few days I’ve been here, how these organic interactions happen especially between all these creatives … has been wonderful,” said Britni Johnson, vice president of public relations and communications for Jamestown, the real estate investment company behind the Design District. “For up and coming areas, the creative people are always going to be the first to come in and really establish a place. That’s literally happening right here, right now.”

Johnson, who normally works from Atlanta, has spent the last several months seeing the Design District from a computer screen, photos and videos. Seeing it in person for the first time in September, she said, changed the way she envisions the project and how it connects to the rest of the Lowcountry.

“It’s a lot to take in,” she said. “All the different pieces of the Navy Yard — people don’t realize how connected everything is. I’ve been trying for so long to understand this by looking at a map, and everything seemed so much more spread out. But everything is really just right here.”

Further closing the distance is the newly opened bridge connecting the Navy Yard to Cosgrove Avenue, giving residents and workers easier access to and from West Ashley, North Charleston and Interstate 26.

Familiar faces, new locations

The redevelopment of the historic storehouses Eight and Nine and the refurbished outdoor courtyard nestled between the two buildings is already complete. Together, they feature 32,000 square feet of creative office space, 7,200 square feet of first-floor restaurant space and 86 luxury apartments. They also are home to the newly opened businesses.

“We specialize in pre-finished, engineered hardwoods,” said Julie Gibbs, project coordinator for Nashville-based Textures. “We are the first branch here in

The glass building (above) in Storehouse Row will soon house Second State Coffee, while the first finished showroom (below) is home to Nashville-based hardwood company Textures

Charleston. It’s very exciting. We’re rocking this new, fun adventure, and we’re just excited about this new Design District.”

Textures boasts the first finished showroom of the Design District, complete with its own luxury hardwoods and a fresh coat of paint. It’s a big step up from the gray concrete that previously permeated the building.

Meanwhile, Charleston-based Aris Construction’s new showroom will act as a satellite office to foster collaborations with other creative businesses. Though the space is not yet open to the public, team leaders are excited about the future.

“It’s exciting. It’s a great place to connect,” said marketing executive-turned builder Tim Sites. “We wanted to be a part of this community and rub shoulders with all the creative types. It’s a dynamic mix of people who create stuff and folks who make things. It’s a real community. Most of our employees work in Park Circle, and there’s only so many houses downtown.

“It just creates an energy that I think is really exciting, and you just want to be a part of it.”

The ground floor of Storehouse Nine filled faster than expected, according to Navy Yard Associate Marketing Manager Thea Anderson, so some businesses can open smaller locations in the second-floor studios, typically leased for residents.

Global home furnishing company Kravet leased a small upstairs unit for its business in August, and though it’s not open to clients, showroom manager Sally Liipfert said it’s been a great partnership already.

Blotter of the Week

A Charleston man on Sept. 23 entered a downtown hotel without a shirt and a pistol tucked in his pants. He wandered around for a while, apparently intoxicated and then left. Charleston police later caught up to him and confiscated the pistol due to his intoxication, though they said he can pick it up later without issue. Seems like there ought to be a little more of a penalty.

“Traditionally, our design clients have had to go to Atlanta, which has been the closest showroom to have a resource library available to them,” she said. “So now, we’re excited that they won’t have to travel that far. We’re really hoping to be a hub for all of our coastal customers from North Carolina to Georgia.”

While several businesses have already moved in and started making the Design District their home-away-from-home, other businesses are still to-come. The large, glass building at the front of the courtyard between storehouses Eight and Nine will soon be home to a new location of local favorite Second State Coffee, and the rooftop restaurant atop Storehouse Nine will feature a yet-to-be-revealed Indigo Road establishment.

Unhappy meal

A former North Charleston fast food restaurant employee on Sept. 26 reportedly used his vehicle to block a manager in her parking space and banged on her car window with his hand, demanding his final paycheck. After leaving the scene, he went to another restaurant to complain about the same issue, according to a police report.

Just kind of sad

Mount Pleasant police on Sept. 18 noticed a car in the driveway of a Seagull Drive home with an open back door. Officers met with the owner of the car, who told them he was sure he closed it earlier. The owner confirmed nothing was stolen and then locked the door. What’s worse, getting robbed or having a thief decide you have nothing worth taking

Data demands, staff tumult roils S.C. election agency

By Jack O’Toole

An unprecedented U.S. Department of Justice demand for a copy of South Carolina’s voter file — the state database that holds confidential information on 3.3 million Palmetto State residents — was again at issue in a Richland courtroom last week.

And for the first time, Gov. Henry McMaster, who supports handing over the data, was a party in the case, after a Sept 26 ruling by Circuit Judge Daniel Coble allowed him to intervene.

Currently at issue are two competing motions. The first, by Calhoun County plaintiff Anne Crook who’s suing to stop any data transfer, asks the court to block the state from complying with the DOJ request before her case is decided. The second, by McMaster’s legal team, wants Crook’s case be dismissed on technical grounds.

Rulings on both motions are expected in the coming days.

Coble’s decision to allow McMaster to intervene capped a remarkable eight days in which the Election Commission ousted its top two officials for what it said were unrelated personnel issues, and continued to negotiate with Trump administration officials over access to the sensitive voter records, which include Social Security and driver’s license numbers.

It also came on the same day the U.S. Department of Justice announced it was suing six more states, including California and Illinois, for failing to comply with similar data requests, bringing the total to eight — and underscoring the pressure on S.C. election officials.

“Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections,” U.S. Attorney

General Pamela Bondi said in a release.

“Every state has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate, accessible and secure — states that don’t fulfill that obligation will see this Department of Justice in court.”

‘Unprecedented’ overreach?

Despite vague references to “clean voter rolls” and “protecting American citizens from voting fraud and abuse” in press releases, federal officials have not clearly stated their reasons for requesting the voter data, critics say.

The Justice Department’s Aug. 6 letter to S.C. election officials, for instance, briefly mentions enforcement of the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act.

But voting and privacy advocates told Statehouse Report recently that they can’t see the connection between enforcing laws requiring accurate voter roll maintenance and securing a one-time snapshot of voter data.

“Voter rolls are living documents that change every day,” said Eileen O’Connor, senior counsel with New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice in a Sept. 25 interview. “So the stated purpose just doesn’t make any sense.”

Instead, she argued, the Trump administration’s goal appears to involve the creation of “a national voter registration database” by “sweeping up” the private data of every voter in the country.

“This appears to be part of an unlawful attempted federal takeover of elections,” O’Connor said.

What’s more, she said worries that

such a database would be a tempting target for hackers.

Commission upheaval

Meanwhile as the federal data demands were playing out in courtrooms in S.C. and across the country, the state Election Commission was dealing with a more immediate issue — the sudden dismissal of its top two officials.

First, commissioners voted 3-2 on Sept. 17 to fire Executive Director Howard Knapp, citing “a desire for new leadership.” Then, five days later, the commission fired its deputy executive director, Paige Salonich, after she was allegedly caught on a security camera placing an unauthorized listening device in the workplace. State Law Enforcement Division officers are reportedly investigating the incident.

Chief of Staff Jenny Wooten is now serving as interim executive director, according to Commission Chairman Dennis Shedd, a retired federal judge.

“The commission’s leadership and staff remain dedicated to ensuring South Carolina’s elections are accurate, secure and accessible,” Shedd told City Paper on Sept. 25.

That’s a message local officials, such as Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections Executive Director Isaac Cramer, were quick to endorse.

“The beauty of South Carolina elections is that they’re managed at the local level,” Cramer said Sept. 25. “Voters in our county and across the state can rest assured because we stand at the ready and prepare for elections all year round.”

With the court case moving forward, Election Commission officials say they’re still waiting for written agreement from the DOJ on the terms of any data transfer.

Hey governor: Don’t give voter data to Trump’s toadies Views

he intrusiveness is pretty obvious: President Donald J. Trump wants the state of South Carolina to surrender your private voter data to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). And Gov. Henry McMaster wants the DOJ to have it, too — birthdates, Social Security and driver’s license numbers and more.

None of this should make you feel good. At all.

To be clear, we’re not talking about the DOJ you’ve known all your life — you know, the one bound by rules, regulations, procedures and the rule of this thing called law.

No, we’re talking about the all-new Trump DOJ — one overseen by the faintly comic but unmistakably menacing menagerie of podcasters and poltroons now at the highest levels of the formerly independent agency.

Think that’s overstated? Remember: Kash Patel, author of a 2023 book about using state power to punish Trump’s enemies, is now director of the FBI. Dan Bongino, a right-wing podcaster, is deputy director. Scores of career employees have been fired or demoted for conducting investigations Trump didn’t like.

That McMaster — a once-proud Reaganite conservative turned nattering nabob of nat-con nonsense — supports this steaming pile of statist overreach no doubt disappoints the still disappointable.

But we shouldn’t be surprised. McMaster, a decent man in a sometimes indecent business, made his deal with Trump when he endorsed the aspiring autocrat in 2016. A year later, he was governor.

And so it was that McMaster found himself ordering his lawyers into a Richland County courtroom last week not simply to oppose a South Carolinian’s plea to keep her data safe, but to deny that citizen her day in court. Don’t hear this case, the governor’s attorneys told the judge. Just dismiss it now, so we

can get back to doing the president’s bidding. As of press time this week, it’s unclear how the court will rule on McMaster’s request. Or on a motion from the citizen’s attorneys to block the state from sending the data before the case is decided. But here’s what we do know:

• We know the DOJ data demand is unprecedented — but not why it’s necessary. In an initial letter, the agency mentioned enforcing federal laws requiring well-maintained voter rolls. But how will a one-time snapshot tell the DOJ whether the rolls are being properly maintained?

• We know the Trump administration has demanded data from all 50 states for what amounts to a national voter database — and a hacker’s dream. As one Trump critic observed, why not just send our data directly to Russia and cut out the middleman?

• We know when Stateline.org asked the DOJ why it wanted the data, a spokesperson mentioned a “collaboration” with the Department of Homeland Security involving “illegal aliens.” OK. So which is it — voter roll maintenance or immigration enforcement?

Can Trump’s DOJ really be trusted with voter data of people who don’t support Trump, especially in an environment in which the president is publicly scolding his attorney general for not moving quickly enough to prosecute his political enemies — something undreamed of by any president in the past (other than perhaps Richard Nixon).

It’s time for McMaster to listen to the better angels of his nature. Trump’s ludicrous Justice Department request doesn’t need our governor’s protection. South Carolina’s citizens do.

objectives

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.

2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.

3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.

4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.

5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.

6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.

7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.

8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.

9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.

10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

Rough road ahead for Trump presidency

By Andy Brack

America seems to be souring on President Donald Trump.

This may not be surprising after the national reaction to pressuring ABC/Disney to suspend late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel and an embarrassing late September speech at the United Nations that can, at best, be described as unhinged.

Trump’s approval ratings are upside down with 54% of American voters disapproving, compared to 42% approving of what he’s doing in the White House.

“Trump’s approval ratings across a wide range of polls are both lower than his historical highs and low compared with many other postWorld War II presidents,” according to writer Louis Jacobson at the award-winning Politifact journalism website. “An aggregation of polls by former FiveThirtyEight.com editor and Substack author G. Elliott Morris shows the most recent polling average for Trump is 41.9% approval and 54.2% disapproval.

“At the start of his second term, Trump was above water in the polling average, with an approval rating of 50.7% and a disapproval rating of 38.7%.”

That’s a 15-point swing in eight months. In an interview, analyst Jacobson observed that controversies generally don’t change the minds of Trump’s supporters or critics.

“(But) his low ratings on the economy would seem especially important. A lot of people voted for Trump in 2024 because of inflation and the economy, especially a lot of voters who didn’t have strong feelings otherwise.

A new September poll shows 47% of Americans say they’ll vote for Democrats and 42% for Republicans on a generic ballot.

“If he can’t improve his approval ratings, especially on the economy, it will complicate his party’s task heading into the mid terms — because midterms are generally a referendum on the incumbent president and their party. The out-of-power party has usually gained in midterm elections, especially in the House.”

Scott Huffmon, the chief pollster for South Carolina’s Winthrop Poll, noted that Trump’s current support is under water across an array of issues.

“This [dropping] trend across multiple polls is driven by indepen dents but they are always the hardest to turn out, especially in off-years,” Huffmon said. “He is still sky-high among Republicans nationally. Consistently mid-80s.”

But it’s unclear how long that will last, particularly if approval/dis approval numbers grow further apart as fresh polling that takes into account the impact of Kimmel, his flamboyant return, Trump’s U.N. speech and a government shutdown.

“Coalitions of discontent — the model that explained presidential approval until Bill Clinton — could definitely be building,” Huffmon said. “If the GOP can keep things focused on identity politics and ensure that marginal-news consumers feel a constant series of vaguely defined threats, they may win enough ‘lean Republican’ districts and keep a few tossups, then Dems might not be able to flip the House.”

But if Democrats are able to focus on economics, such as how Trump hasn’t decreased the price of groceries and how his tariffs are really bad for farmers and small businesses, they may be able to flip the House — just as they did in 2018 when they picked up 41 seats at the midpoint of Trump’s first term.

A new September poll shows 47% of Americans say they’ll vote for Democrats and 42% for Republicans on a generic ballot. The same poll of 1,500 people showed 60% believed the country was on the wrong track, compared to 28% of people who said it was on the right track. That’s a 3% increase in pessimism over the previous month.

Perhaps the best indicator of what the country’s really thinking will come on Oct. 18 when people see the number of Americans who protest Trump at hundreds of the scheduled No Kings rallies across the country. Millions are expected.

While there are a lot of political parallels between what’s happening now in Trump’s second term compared to the same time in his first term, protests and increasingly virulent anti-Trump sentiment across the country could make the 2026 midterm elections more volatile than ever before.

Activists say book bans infringe on free speech

By Maura Hogan

hen authors dream of their literary labor of love landing at the top of a list, the one that identifies America’s banned books is certainly not what they have in mind.

And with South Carolina this year reaching a tally of 22 titles, leading the nation in the number of state-mandated school book bans, the odds are intensifying that a writer’s well-chosen words may well be barred from many shelves.

On May 6, the S.C. Board of Education voted to remove 10 books from all public schools for all grade levels, ratcheting the total books removed or restricted statewide in the Palmetto State’s public schools.

“The state is continuing to leave educational decisions for all students up to one parent,” said Josh Malkin, advocacy director for the ACLU of South Carolina, after the May vote. “This is problematic and counter to the foundational democratic ideals of public education.”

Banned Books Week

Things have taken a turn for the grimmer since last fall’s Banned Books Week. The annual event, organized by the American Library Association Office for Intellectual Freedom in partnership with the Banned Books Week Coalition, trains a glaring book light on the proliferation of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores and schools.

Held this year from Oct. 5 to Oct. 11, Banned Books Week is shaped by its rally cry for free and open access to information, galvanizing librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers and readers in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas.

With South Carolina in the top spot on state-mandated book bans, it’s no wonder Charleston book lovers of all stripes are brandishing their metaphorical highlighters to flag that such censure does not go unnoticed.

In the past year, book bans have also proliferated by way of other emergent mandates.

Ferrara and

offer a selection of banned books at Philosophers and Fools

In May, My Vanishing Country, the bestselling book by former S.C. Rep. and television personality Bakari Sellers that chronicles his experiences growing up Black in Denmark, S.C., was banned from the U.S. Naval Academy library. The ban followed a mandate from Defense Secretery Pete Hegseth’s office that the military academy pull 400 titles concerning diversity, equity and inclusion.

Similarly, Shackles, a children’s book by Marjory Wentworth, was among 10 titles that had been marked for compliance review by the staff at Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Park. The book is currently sold out at the store and no bans have been communicated to park staff.

Wentworth, the former poet laureate of South Carolina who now resides in Springfield, Ohio, knows a thing or two about banned books. For 10 years, she taught a class on banned books at the College of Charleston. It was then that she began to see patterns with banning emanating from organizations like the John Birch Society and, most recently, Moms for Liberty.

“When you’re trying to accelerate the whitewashing of history, it fits into this larger effort to keep this information from everyone, whether it’s children or a website or a book or wall text,” she said this week.

Combatting censorship

Charleston’s Academic Magnet High School student Kate Selvitelli started the school’s Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization (DAYLO) chapter in 2023, quickly growing it to 100 students, the largest chapter in the state.

Selvitelli is among the three South Carolina students featured in Banned Together, a recent feature-length documentary charting the chapter’s efforts to combat censorship. The film is currently available on Apple TV+, Kanopy and Amazon Prime.

Banned Together includes ample footage involving Moms for Liberty. The group has a statewide stronghold in the business of banning books, powered by their presence at school board meetings and also at the level of the S.C. State Board of Education, by way of its alliance with conservative State Superintendent Ellen Weaver.

For Banned Books Week, Selvitelli’s chapter will be busy.

On the Friday before Banned Books Week, Oct. 3, members will decorate a large bulletin board near the school library sharing titles of banned books and the reasons why they are being banned, as well as statistics and postcards for students to use to write to legislators.

Throughout the school week, DAYLO members will broadcast over the school announcement system regarding book bans, which books are banned in South Carolina and or what can be learned from a specific book.

On Oct. 6, members will write postcards to librarians, teachers, administrators, legislatures, state board of education members and school board members.

“For those who have the power to make decisions about what’s in all public schools, we’ll address the 22 books that have been banned in South Carolina, along with having students say why they want these books to remain in public schools,” Selvitelli said.

From 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 10, the group is hosting a family-friendly teddy bear picnic at the Park Circle playground with high school students reading to younger children.

On Oct. 11, the chapter will join forces with Buxton Books on a speaker event weighing in on the effects of banning.

“ As a country that was built on the freedom of speech and beliefs, book banning goes completely against our foundation that so many people are currently fighting for.” —Kate Selvitelli

From words to action

Thanks to Charleston’s strong showing of independent bookstores, interested readers of any age and interest still have a means to discover these books — and to learn more about the continued threat of banning them.

On Oct. 5 at 5 p.m., North Charleston’s Itinerate Literate Books will spotlight Banned Books Week at Commonhouse Aleworks via an Anti-Censorship Panel in partnership with ACLU of South Carolina that features an expert panel of educators and journalists.

On Oct. 11, the bookshop will host a banned bookswap party, inviting all to its “Be a Couragous Reader Bingo Challenge” by bringing a favorite banned or frequently challenged book to the store to swap with like-minded readers, and take advantage of a Banned Books photo-op.

At any given day at Philosophers and Fools, a bookstore bar in downtown Charleston, banners declaring “Read Banned Books” and “Abide No Hatred” are mounted on shelves, which also feature a selection of banned books available for purchase.

Jenny Ferrara, who co-owns the business with her husband Michael Bourke, said ensuring these works are represented is important to them both–and embraces the store’s ethos to bring people together.

“We want to be a place where no matter what you’re into reading, you can walk in and find something you’re looking for. We believe that reading builds empathy and that it helps you step into other people’s shoes, [people who] you might not interact with in daily life,” she said.

The proprietors say they also keep an eye on what’s being banned both in South Carolina and nationally, noting that most of the silenced voices involve communities such as LGBTQ, women, Black and other marginalized groups.

The banned books banner positioned prominently behind the bar often sparks exchange.

“Some people are aware but not to the extent of book banning currently, and some aren’t aware, so it’s an opportunity for us to have a discussion and to talk about it and start a little layer of education on what’s going on,” she said.

In addition to displaying the banned titles throughout the week, on Oct. 6, from

6:30 p.m. to7:30 p.m., the shop is hosting a read-in by way of Libro.fm, which partners with bookstores to sell audiobooks. Attendees will receive a free audiobook of Kirsten Miller’s novel Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books.

At Buxton Books on King Street, cofounder Polly Buxton said she is fully on board with Banned Books Week, explaining that the role of independent bookstores has never been more urgent.

“Every voice deserves a place on the shelf,” she said, observing that when books disappear from classrooms and school libraries, these businesses can step in as sanctuaries.

“What we’ve seen since last year’s Banned Books Week is not a retreat but an escalation, which only deepens our resolve to provide access, foster conversation and defend the freedom to read.”

Beyond the Oct. 11 event that is in the works with Selvitelli, Buxton Books has commissioned Diana Hambleton and a team of young artists to create new window displays around the theme “The Great American Story,” to be installed later this fall.

The windows will feature four iconic American authors, including the frequently banned Toni Morrison.

Spreading the word

For those interested in supporting Banned Books Week, Selvitelli recommends telling people about banned books and the national week.

“Many people don’t know anything about book bans or that it’s happening across America. As a country that was built on the freedom of speech and beliefs, book banning goes completely against our foundation that so many people are currently fighting for,” she said.

“There are many politicians who argue for freedom of speech but are supporting these book bans. If someone begins to share this with others and make voters recognize what’s happening, we could change who’s in office.”

The high school senior’s advice is to speak at meetings, call or email or write postcards to representatives, school boards, the state board of education, as well as teachers, administrators and librarians.

“It never has to be anything political or angry. Instead focus on how bad book banning is for students,” she said.

“Our voice is our power, and people should use it however they can.”

On Oct. 11, Banned Books Week launches its annual Let Freedom Read Day, encouraging everyone to take at least one action to help defend books from censorship and to stand up for the library staff, educators, writers, publishers and booksellers who make them available. Its action one-sheet, as well as information, is available at bannedbooksweek.org.

Legacy lives on at Charleston’s Murray’s Meats

By Amethyst Ganaway

A legendary Charleston butchery is back … in North Charleston.

In 1972, the late Ernest Murray Sr. opened Murray’s Links and Sausages on Cannon Street. A few years later, he moved the family-owned business to the corner of Rutledge Avenue and Strawberry Lane, where it became a fixture in what was then a predominantly Black neighborhood.

For decades, Murray’s was a butcher shop and a community hub, known for its butchered meats, animal parts, and, most famously, its signature red link sausages.

The shop relocated to Meeting Street Road, on the edge where downtown Charleston meets North Charleston. There, under the leadership of Ernest Murray Jr., the business continued to thrive until 2023, when health issues forced the family to close its doors.

A new chapter

In 2025, the Murray legacy found new life at 2000 McMillian Ave. in North Charleston. Alexus Murray-Stroble, granddaughter of the founder, has stepped forward to carry on the family’s vision.

“I helped my grandfather and father for years in high school and college,” she

The butcher shop’s new home is 2000 McMillian Ave. in North Charleston

recalled. “They knew customers by name and how they wanted their meat cut. It really felt like a big extended family. My grandfather and father always had chips and juice for the kids, and I still keep that tradition alive today.”

For Murray-Stroble, reopening Murray’s Meats is about community. When her father passed the torch due to illness, she said felt called to honor her family’s name.

“I couldn’t even go to the corner store without people asking when we were going

to reopen,” she said. “When I posted about reopening on social media, it went viral. That’s when I knew this was what I was supposed to do.”

Murray’s current offerings

The market offers a wide range of products: turkey, ham, beef, pork, chicken and now seafood, from salmon and shrimp to crab legs and whiting. But the links remain the star of the show, made from the same

family recipe Ernest Sr. created decades ago. Once sold at Piggly Wiggly and other grocers, Murray-Stroble said she hopes to return them to store shelves soon.

Much of the business remains rooted in tradition, from the recipes to the hospitality, but Murray-Stroble is also making her own mark. As a licensed butcher, she works hands-on behind the counter, challenging old stereotypes.

“It feels good being a woman in this industry,” she said. “Sometimes customers ask for a man to cut their meat, and I tell them, ‘I can do it myself.’ I want people to know this isn’t just a man’s job.”

Her vision for the business stretches beyond the counter. Murray-Stroble said she hopes to expand Murray’s into multiple locations, turning it into a franchise that keeps the Murray name strong for future generations.

But at its core, Murray’s remains about family and community. It’s about legacy, the familiar taste of a red link sausage and the neighborly feel of walking into a place where your name is remembered.

“When people walk through our doors, I want them to feel like family,” MurrayStroble said. “I want them to leave not only with good food, but with a good feeling. That’s what my grandfather built, and that’s what I’m proud to continue.”

Rare showing of Rembrandt to debut at Gibbes Museum

By Maura Hogan

The Gibbes Museum of Art has landed the inaugural stop of a high-profile tour of etchings of 17th-century Dutch master Rembrandt.

The tour marks the first time the works have traveled out of the Netherlands to the U.S. as a collection. The exhibition also is a first big win for new Gibbes Museum of Art’s president and CEO Alex Rich, who took over this fall after the retirement of longtime director Angela Mack.

Rich said Charleston makes for ideal terrain to launch the Rembrant tour, noting the exhibition explores not just artist’s work but also the milieu in which it was produced.

“The geographical and geological similarities between Amsterdam and Charleston are plentiful — Lowcountry maritime cities, cultural landmarks, trading centers,” Rich said. “But our two cities are alike also in spirit and the spirit of the people who call each city home Amsterdam and Charleston are unique and with inhabitants who savor that uniqueness.”

The landmark exhibition Rembrandt: Masterpieces in Black and White — Prints from the Rembrandt House Museum, will be on view in the thirdfloor galleries of the Gibbes from Oct. 24, 2025, to Jan. 11, 2026.

The exhibition, which was previously mounted in Europe at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, in the United Kingdom, was co-organized by the American Federation of Arts (AFA), which is the leader in traveling exhibitions in the U.S. and worldwide, and the Rembrandt House Museum, the world’s only museum exclusively dedicated to Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669) that holds the collection.

Curated by Epco Runia, head of collections at the Rembrandt House Museum, the exhibition features 58 works (44 by Rembrandt and 14 by later 19th and 20th century artists influenced by his work). It is divided into 13 sections, covering Rembrandt’s legion skills as a visual narrator, his hallmark exploration of light and dark and how he used self-portraits in exploring visual identity as well as the complexity of aging.

It also represents a significant three-part collaboration to offer American arts enthusiasts a nuanced vantage of one Western

culture’s most honored artists, and his integral, enduring role in printmaking.

“International collaborations of this scale are usually afforded only to large metropolitan areas like New York and Los Angeles,” said AFA Director and CEO Pauline Forlenza. The AFA has a longstanding relationship with the Gibbes Museum, with the upcoming exhibition the third since 2019, including “Romare Bearden: Abstraction and Black Refractions: Highlights from The Studio Museum in Harlem.”

“Our prior successful collaborations with the team were key factors,” Forlenza said. “The curatorial and educational programming aligns greatly with AFA’s mission. In addition, Charleston, a cultural beacon of the South, is a city rich in both history and the arts. A city of such vibrancy, paired with an institution of this caliber, makes it the ideal place to launch the U.S. leg of the tour.”

The power of print-making

Rembrandt had a centuries-long impact on the field of printmaking, including on the works by Picasso, Whistler and others. Part of the Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt was known for constantly seeking new methods of creating art, making more than 300 etchings during his career. The exhibition will also display two original copper plates used by Rembrandt, alongside the resulting prints.

Beyond employing printmaking to highlight other works, which was the modus operandi of many of his contemporaries, Rembrandt embraced etching as a means for the work itself, applying his storytelling approach to subject matter including Biblical stories and portraits, as well as observations of everyday life and more, to create original compositions expressly for the medium.

“Rembrandt is widely known for his impressive, emotionally charged paintings. His prints are much less well known. But that doesn’t make them any less interesting, as they cover a much wider range of subjects,” Runia said. “That’s why it’s so exciting to be able to show them at the Gibbes now, enabling us to introduce a new audience to these beautiful works of art.”

The curator explained that the exhibition explores Rembrandt’s strengths as an experimental etcher, in particular his visual storytelling and focus on drawing “from life.” It shows how Rembrandt grew to be

THEATER

arguably the most creative print artist of the 17th century and highlights how his graphic oeuvre has served as a source of inspiration for artists in the centuries since.

“Visitors might discover that each of Rembrandt’s prints is a work of art in itself. Take the time to look at them closely and a whole world opens up to you: a world in black and white, but with enormous visual richness.”

Given the intricacies of the works, which are small in scale, the curators of the exhibition encourage the concept of “slow looking,” or allowing sufficient time with each work to engage as unexpected connections and details reveal themselves throughout them.

“This show promises to be a revelation to many visitors who may think of Rembrandt solely as a painter or self-portrait artist,” Rich said. “When they come to see Rembrandt and realize his prowess as a printmaker, audiences will never think of him the same way again.”

Rich said he would like to think that Rembrandt would have felt very much at home in Charleston. He observed that the Rembrandt House could find an analogue in any number of Charleston homes on the peninsula, making the Gibbes an apt launch site for the U.S. leg of the exhibition’s tour.

“More than anything else, though, the Gibbes is simply one of our country’s best museums — albeit one that is perhaps still too hidden a gem — and with Rembrandt’s etchings on view we can continue to underline that Charleston and the Gibbes are increasingly a locus of the American cultural scene.”

Rucker’s Riverfront Revival festival returns to

North Charleston

Oct. 11

By Vincent Harris

Film star and Charleston resident Bill Murray won’t be wandering the crowd Oct. 11, the second day of North Charleston’s Riverfront Revival music festival in North Charleston. He also won’t be introducing headliner and festival co-founder Darius Rucker or country/ Americana stars Riley Green, Lukas Nelson, Flatland Cavalry or The Red Clay Strays.

Nope. Murray will be front and center on lead vocals with his fiery rock/soul revue The Blood Brothers in Riverfront Park. The band will play up a storm on classics like Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone” or the obscure Beatles’ B-side “Slow Down.”

Rob Lamble, a promoter with SRE Entertainment who partnered with Rucker to begin the Riverfront Revival three years ago, is especially tickled Murray is on board.

“Bill Murray is going to be a blast,” Lamble said in a recent interview with the Charleston City Paper. “He put together the band this year and they started going out on the road. The band is smoking and Bill is really good up front, so it should be a hoot.”

He said both nights of the festival will be amazing.

“Friday night is going to be a banger. I’m personally looking forward to Lukas Nelson (Willie’s son), The Red Clays Strays and Riley Green. And the next day’s going to be a blast, as well.”

Roots of a revival

SRE Entertainment actually went to Rucker after the pandemic with the festival idea, something the company had been toying with for a while.

“We were batting around some ideas for a country music festival in Charleston,” Lamble said. “And we wanted to align ourselves with a partner who made sense, and Darius obviously was the first person to come to mind. And he was very interested, so we partnered up and started putting together the bones for the festival.”

Lamble added that Rucker didn’t simply lend his name to the festival. He’s been deeply involved in creating the lineup for all three years of the Riverfront Revival.

“He’s always been heavily involved in the curation,” Lamble said. “We have conversations about what we would like to see, what we want the festival to look like and folks that we feel like would be a good fit, and then Darius and his management weigh in quite often on those decisions.”

One of those decisions was to book the Red Clay Strays, a rapidly rising country rock band from Mobile, Ala. The band’s single, “Wondering Why,” went viral on TikTok in late 2023 and charted across multiple

Longtime local favorite Darius Rucker will headline the returning Riverfront Revival Fest on Oct. 11

Billboard lists, including the Hot 100.

That put the band on Rucker’s radar, and the time was right to bring it to Charleston.

“Last year when we got into the booking, we immediately noticed the rise that the Red Clay Strays was having, and we thought it would be a wonderful choice to add some diversity to our lineup. We started with it and then went to Riley as our headliner for night one.”

“Then we reached out to Whiskey Myers (Texas rockers which had a viral song from the Kevin Costner TV show Yellowstone),” Lamble added, “and created the rest of the lineup after we had our headliners.”

Giving back

To further strengthen the connection between the festival and the area, each year proceeds from the Riverfront Revival have gone to local charities. This year, the recipients are the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital and Charleston’s Just Be You, a nonprofit organization that works to build confidence in teenagers.

“We always like to give back to this community,” Lamble said, “so we naturally chose the MUSC Children’s Hospital, which Darius is very passionate about, and Just Be You is such a good outreach to teens.”

Ultimately, Lamble said Rucker and SRE have tried to make the Riverfront Revival matter to the entire Lowcountry.

“We want this to be everybody’s festival,” he said.
